Budinger and Clark share the same agent

Like him but ain't he restricted?

It definitely blows to be rumored with 8-10 different role player types instead of championship caliber players. At least until next offseason.

To be fair at least the rumored role guys are swings and perimeter help for Kobe ... That need has been glaring for too damn long, and looks to be addressed finally

he's restricted, ain't happening. he shares an agent with earl clark, so i'm guessing the lakers just mentioned it in passing and his agent ran with it to drum up more interest.

I like this dudes game.
Plus he is a disciple from Kobe's All American Skills camp when he was a high school phenom down in San Diego.
So you know if he became a Laker he would play with that Mamba Venom.

Maybe he wouldn't mind taking a hometown discount?

looks like he's unrestricted, but tweets im too lazy to copy and paste say he's looking at offers larger than the mmle.

Another summer of people leaking the Lakers are interested in every FA to raise their profile? ha ha

He was available to us in that draft I believe.

Edit: I just also realized we drafted Patrick Beverley in that draft.

Welcome to the world of social media and to many smart phones in the wrong hands. You want to boost your client, send out a text and get others interested and the price goes up.

knowing we're probably definitely going to amnesty MWP, picking this guy up would be a steal

he's chandler parsons lite

yeah, chandler parsons is a little better than budinger but still, i would welcome him to this team ...
